Virtual Family Fun Day!

Virtual Family Fun Day!

Nov 28, 2020, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Tune in over Thanksgiving weekend for some make-at-home art projects inspired by the CRMA’s exhibition celebrating our 125th anniversary, 125! 125 Masterworks from the Collection. Follow along with us as we create kid-friendly artwork using materials you have around the house. You’ll see some of the masterpieces in the galleries, like works from Roy Lichtenstein, Bill Stamats, Mary Zeran and Charles Barth! If you want to create along with us, the list of materials is below (although you can make substitutions or additions from whatever you have at home). Gather the family, set up a work area where you can get a little messy, and make some artwork together this holiday weekend, celebrating the CRMA’s 125th anniversary with us!
